Certainly no offence meant and nice people are quite often miserable or grumpy :-D [/quote] Have we met? I also think that people posting how they would like the item only makes it seem more desirable to a potential buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Dave Holden' timestamp='1347918547' post='1806757'] First off, I just want to say that I think this site is fantastic and has opened up the bass market for me which, before, was only filled by ebay and I know how we all feel about that. What I don't get about this site is why people feel the need to comment on my 'for sale' topics and state that they have no money. I'm thinking this should be banned. Some people have an appreciation for the items on sale but there is no need to write things like "love this bass but totally out of funds right now." I see these posts every day and they are just pointless. The sellers are seriously trying to make some money by advertising their items but the forums are plagued with people who have this inherent desire to tell you how broke they are. You wouldn't walk into an estate agents and say "excuse me sir, I really like the house advertised in your window but unfortunately I have no money" and then walk out... These people come in to the same category as those who seem genuinely interested in your item, you send them a billion more photos which they have personally asked for, then they disappear off the face of the planet without so much of a thank you. Okay, rant over. I appreciate forums are places where people can post what they like, it just seems a bit much sometimes. Thanks for reading, Dave [/quote] well, I think they show appreciation for what you're selling and everytime they do that they bump your ad to the top. And you complain? free bumpage at the very least! like others already said... it mostly just reflects the social side of the forum.

jezzaboy Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1347922151' post='1806818'] I think also... lets take an example.... silddx sticks a bass up for sale. A few of the folk who have been around longer and know him, and maybe even owned/played the bass chip in... it lets other people know that actually the bass is desirable (and if you buy it and don't get on with it you might find it easier to shift) and also that the person is a decent one. There is at least one item in the forsale section that's been there a while, only the seller and the odd newbie post there- and theres a good reason I think why folk who've been on here longer give that particular item a wide berth....

charic Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Actually I posted something like that about an effects pedal. The person who then went on to buy it then PM'd me asking if I'd be interested before he put it up for public consideration. Very good of him IMHO, unfortunately I still didn't have the pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I agree that it is all good, with the free bump + nice comments etc. The flip side is that it's really depressing when you post a for sale thread on a forum and it sinks like a stone with nary a single comment other than your occasional desperate bumps.
